In recent science news, the breakup of a Chinese rocket stage has generated more than 700 pieces of debris, endangering over 1,000 satellites and other objects in Earth's orbit. Analysts highlighted the risks in this high-traffic region.
Meanwhile, scientists have suggested a groundbreaking approach to warming Mars. They propose using engineered particles akin to 'glitter' to trap heat and make the Martian surface more habitable by significantly raising its temperature.
In the realm of construction, the world's largest 3D-printed neighborhood is nearing completion in Texas. ICON's Vulcan printer, which stands over 45 feet wide, has been constructing homes in Wolf Ranch, a community located near Austin.
Additionally, scientists have achieved a milestone by extracting the deepest rock sample ever from Earth's mantle, drilling 4,160 feet below the Atlantic seabed. This sample could provide new insights into the composition and chemical processes of Earth's most voluminous layer.
